QUESTION:

A biologist who studies spiders selected a random sample of 20 male green lynx spiders (a spider that does not weave a web, but chases and leaps on its prey) and measured the lengths (in millimeters) of one of the front legs of the 20 spiders. Use the following measurements to construct a confidence interval for \(m\) that has a confidence coefficient about equal to \(0.95\):

15.10         13.55         15.75         20.00         15.45

13.60         16.45         14.05         16.95         19.05

16.40         17.05         15.25         16.65         16.25

17.75         15.40         16.80         17.55         19.05
